Visualizing with Polars + Altair in Python: a case study

[Online] Altair is the default visualization module if you're using Polars for data manipulation in Python. This will be a short case study presentation of how I used that combination of modules to solve a visualization problem. I'll start with a brief overview of the relevant Polars and Altair concepts and syntax, and then present an example where faculty in Engineering needed to visualize when the students they were advising were busy or had gaps in their combined schedules. The intent is to go beyond a typical example you'd see in a tutorial to see how someone used both Polars and Altair to solve a real-world problem. Attendees will not be coding along with the presentation, so you don't need any software installed. This workshop is open to non-Duke attendees.

While Python experience isn't required, it might be slightly confusing if you've never seen any of the syntax before. Everyone should consider attending the Introduction to Polars workshop on Tues, Sept 9 at 10am.

A zoom link will be sent via email to registered participants to join the workshop. The content of the workshop may be recorded. If you are uncomfortable with a recording being published, please contact the instructor at anytime prior to the conclusion of the workshop.
